ENWIN Supports E.L.K. Energy’s Enhanced Reliability with Completion of Second Feed in Kingsville

ENWIN and E.L.K. Energy celebrated a milestone infrastructure upgrade in Kingsville, where crews successfully commissioned a second hydro feed to the Town to close out 2025. This proactive enhancement follows a similar upgrade now live in Lakeshore, underscoring E.L.K. Energy's progress across its service areas in Essex, Lakeshore, and Kingsville. 

Prior to this project, Kingsville relied on a single feeder, leaving the growing community vulnerable to full outages. The new dual-feed system splits the load evenly, ensuring either line can power the entire area during disruptions, reducing potential impacts to just half the town and enabling swift manual switching for minimal downtime. 

With this project complete, Kingsville’s system is better positioned to support future growth and maintain reliable service under increasing demand. The Kingsville project extends the same forward-looking approach applied in Lakeshore, marking another step in ENWIN and E.L.K. Energy’s long-term commitment to resilient service. 

ENWIN's broader investments in E.L.K. Energy prioritize automated smart switching technology upgrades beginning this year, evolving from today's manual operations to remote, minutes-fast restorations that communicate directly with control rooms. These steps fortify a storm-resilient grid. 

"Completing Kingsville's second feed demonstrates our agility and dedication to frontline reliability for every customer," said Jim Brown, Chief Operating Officer - Hydro. "From Lakeshore to Kingsville, these targeted upgrades form a long-term blueprint for resilient power that grows with our communities." 

Together, ENWIN and E.L.K. Energy deliver cutting-edge energy solutions tailored to local growth. Kingsville's upgrade means fewer interruptions, quicker recoveries, and a stronger foundation for economic vitality, all while fostering deep community ties.
